" How was your relationship with Reza? Looks like she likes you. When is she gonna meet mom?"
The middle-aged woman who still looked beautiful stroked the soft hair of her son Sasi. Sasi.
" Mommy, I've only been close friends with Reza for a few weeks. I had to introduce her to Mom. What will he think? He thinks I'm an aggressive woman, he's invited to meet mom when we just haven't..."
Sasi. He was very upset with his mother. Every man is close to him. Even just taking her home from work. I must have asked him the same question. When did you get to know mom? When propose..?
But Sasi also can't blame her mother. As the mother of an adult girl, mother would definitely want Sasi to get married soon. Especially as the first child whose two sisters have married all. You can imagine her mother's concern about the fate of Sasi who has been stepped over (in Javanese custom if the sister married first than her brother) Two younger siblings as well.
Sekar Sasi Nopember, its name means Flower Moon of November. Akrab is called Sasi.
Sweet girl the daughter of a pretty landlord who had a name in that small town. A city in the southern part of Java island. Although her father died a few years ago, the family's influence did not fade because Sasi's mother was able to continue her husband's business well.
Sasi was never lacking. But as the first of three children, all of whom are girls, Sasi feels a responsibility to take care of his two younger siblings.
Her thin brain makes her eager to complete her education until the S2 line.
Too busy studying, Sasi forgot about the affairs of soul mate and romance so it does not feel he is 26 years old and he is not married.
While his two sisters who immediately married after graduating from High School each already have two children.
As the daughter of a prominent family in that small town, the husband of his two younger siblings was not an arbitrary person. His sister is married to the owner of a cigarette factory. While his youngest sister married the vice regent in the city.
Sweet sasi is actually also not an unsold girl who has never had a boyfriend or lover. Like at this time Sasi is being contested by two handsome men of his coworkers. Reza and Davin. But what to say, Sasi felt that he had not found someone who convinced him to accept his love. No man could touch his heart. Especially to get married?
"Sir, come home from work with mom? We'll meet Mbah Ageng"
Sasi sighed softly. He knows who Mbah Ageng is. He's kind of a paranormal family trust his mother's hereditary.
" Mum.please do not force Sasi. Sasi did not want to go to shamans like that. Sasi did not believe that. Your son is still selling mom. Even my friends are 30 and unmarried "
" That's exactly it, mother does not want you to be single continue like your friends. We have to try, right? Come to Mbah Ageng?"
"Your son is beautiful, many like it. Don't use shamans too if I want mom. I'm the only one who doesn't feel like it's a good fit, ma'am.."
Sasi almost cried to see his mother so insistent on inviting him to meet the ageng Mbah.
" Or do you want me to find a soul mate just like your sisters?"
" Ibuuu.please.it makes more sense, ma'am. This is not his era anymore mama-dumbu. Okay deh.tersela mother if you want to go to Mbah Ageng. I want to come but I don't want to go in his house. I'll wait in the car."
Sasi finally chose the safe way. Instead of being betrothed it is better to obey the word of his mother only. After all, he would not lose anything or be harmed if he went to the old shaman's house. Anyway, he can't believe it's done.
The mother smiled with relief. Finally, his favorite rebel son was willing to obey his words as well.
And that afternoon after work Sasi and her mother met Mbah Ageng. The joglo-shaped old house immediately welcomed the two children's mothers. Somehow the cold just broke out when Sasi's car entered the spacious yard of the house. Maybe because of the lush trees in the courtyard of the house? I don't know. Sasi doesn't want to know.
As Sasi said from the beginning, the girl was not willing to set her foot into the house of Mbah Ageng. He waited in the car while his mother got into the house.
"Emoh ma'am..sudah mom alone" Sasi instead leaned on the soft car seat.
" Yes, that's it. Mother's the only one who came in" Mom relented.
Ten minutes, twenty minutes, half an hour later Sasi saw her mother come out of the haunted house with a white-haired old man. That must be called Mbah Ageng.
" Your mother...!" Sasi heard her mother call her a little scream.
The girl just bows her head from the window, the car she left open.
" Come down here for a while" mother waved at Sasi.
Sasi snorted in annoyance. Want not to come down also approached his mother. Sasi did not want to be considered an ungodly child who did not appreciate his mother.
" Yes ma'am.." Sasi tried to speak as softly as possible even though his heart was upset.
" Oh, this is Sasi. How's mbah?" she smiled as she looked at the old man.
Sasi felt a strange air encircle her body as Mbah Ageng looked at her. The old man did not speak at all but his sharp eyes hit Sasi's heart like a dagger piercing him. Suddenly Sasi felt nauseous.
" I'm sorry mom, Mbah...Sasi is not feeling well. Want to sit in the car alone" Sasi hurriedly stepped towards his car. Leaving her mother with Mbah Ageng.
" Sale!" I heard mom calling him. Sasi did not budge still stepped away to the car.
" Already let it go.." the sound of a heavy Ageng mbah prevents Sasi's mother from holding Sasi.
Mbah Ageng stepped into his house again. Followed by Sasi's mother who followed behind him.
" So according to the vision of Mbah Ageng; what is the fate of Sasi?" mom is worried.
" Your son is favored by other beings who are high in their world. Ordinary men will not be able to match the prestige of the creature. That's why your son isn't interested in the man who approaches him. His heart was influenced by a creature that liked him. So subconsciously your child has high criteria about his mate. At least it should be on par with the ones who like it."
" I have to how to mbah. He doesn't want to be matched either. Could be her old virgin." Mom was desperate.
" I'll help him. Remember your family is like my own brother. Don'worry. We're gonna make an effort. I'll make the man who likes your son look perfect in your son's eyes. So meet the criteria."
" Matur nuwun(thank you). I'm really asking for help" Mother bowed respectfully as she cupped her hands in front of her chest.
" Hemm.help with prayer for all to run smoothly" Mbah Ageng patted mother's shoulder.
Mother out of the house Mbah Ageng alone. Seeing that Sasi was throwing a sigh of relief. It's finished apparently.
"Five more minutes waiting here, can stress me out" Sasi grumbled to herself.
